This has to be the coolest design for a coffee cup ever. It’s only a concept at the moment, but I think it would have a real shot (pun intended) at success. I’m a keen photographer, and I would be one of the first in line to buy one of these if they ever hit the market.

While it is only a concept, I could see a market for these in future years as your Nikon Nikkor lenses start to break down. It would be a great way to recycle the lenses. 

Even if you are not a keen photographer, I think you might still want to get one. How else could you get yourself perfect shot of coffee in the morning??

I saw this the other day myself, and was amazed that it is only concept art. Surely mugs like this would be fantastic promo giveaways for Nikon and Canon?

Oh, and I think you may have made a spelling mistake. Surely you meant that this would be a great way to use old *Cannon* lenses? After all, the latest Nikons still work perfectly with Nikkor lenses from as far back as 1977 (and with a small modification, with the original Nikkor F mount lenses from as far back as 1959!) Canon have re-designed their lens mount at least a few times over the last half century, leaving plenty of obsoleted lenses just waiting to become mugs like this :)
